admin Yellowikis:
Under your proposed system users will not have to log
on to change the
UI. This is clearly a great improvement. But will it be possible to
define a default UI language for a particular page? where no
preference for UI has been selected?
That is the idea. To quote the proposal:
<<
When no user interface language is set, the UI language should be
identical to the content language, that is, when viewing pages in
English, the UI language should be English; in German, the UI language
should be German, and so on. This ensures that each language community
can customize the interface messages according to their needs, and
emulates the current behavior of multilingual Wikimedia projects with
split databases.
